Starchild

WTF was that? How do you not block Plastique at this stage?

Not me tearing up during a Rusical. And I agree with Ruby, what were the judges smoking, she was great, I thought she won.

So, does 14's TARDIS also have (some of) Sutekh attached to it after the split?

19-yr old Bella Ramsey played 14 pretty effectively in The Last of Us. But yeah, if only they could have found a child actress of Jodie Foster's talent.

I'm curious who Susan Triad is/was. Some poor innocent corrupted by Sutekh? Or was she ever real?

If Roxxxy and Angeria are just going to hand the scissors back and forth, I'd rather watch the Beachcombers.

I read in comments on a YT review (the guy hated this ep) that viewership for this season has tanked compared to previous seasons. Is it true? I don't typically track that kind of thing because I watch what I want to watch regardless of whether other people like it or not. Usually others don't, so paying attention to ratings would make me anxious that the show will soon be canceled (which happens to my shows more than I like).

Not sure how to feel about the amped up flirtatiousness of this Doctor. Even with his wife River he wasn't this overtly sexual, he was barely romantic. Yeah I get that the bigeneration and the emotional healing 14 did (will do?) somehow made its way through timey-wimey means to 15, allowing him to be more emotionally mature and open. And that's probably why he's so much more joyful and life-affirming now than he's been since, I don't know, 4, maybe? So OK there's story reasons why the Doctor is like this now. But it still feels weird to me. Gotta get used to it. That being said, the romance with Rogue was really sweet. Fast..., but sweet. They worked really well off each other. The birdlike Childhur family was ridiculous, and it never felt like they could destroy the whole world, but the dried-husk bodies they left behind were creepy.

Sad reaction, but I don't mind not seeing that ridiculous face paint anymore. I wonder if there's a video online somewhere of Norma's volcano dress mechanism working because that looked like it could have been awesome.

I like this group of girls. My favourite so far is Parseo (sp?). Nicky: I've got changes. Also Nicky: <description of what's coming that sounds exactly like previous seasons>

Did anyone else notice during the judging that the colouring of Ru's arms clashed with that of her face? I've never noticed anything like that before.

The impression I got was that Deborah was fully intending to have Ava be her head writer (I mean why wouldn't she). But after speaking to Biff Cliff and coming away from that with the message that you don't shake things up and give "them" a reason to say no, she got cold feet and felt she needed to play it safe. But since she already made the offer she wanted to save face with Ava so she said it was the network forcing her hand. Ava running into Winnie and finding out the truth was a fluke.

Right? I kept thinking, well if Ruby came back in time and stopped the Doctor from breaking the fairy circle, then who was around to stop apGwilliam in 2046?

I love your commentaries, @davidcalgary29 please never change. I pulled this part out because I was surprised no one else mentioned that Nina's Liberace felt a lot more like Paul Lynde. OMG I love this idea!

Oh I guess I missed that

Maybe Robin will come back and offer Darlene something wherever she landed after the plastics factory. She seemed to like Darlene, And I liked that character, Robin was cool.

I liked how there was a guy sitting next to him that may or may not have been a new partner. It allows people who want to think he'd be "no one else after Asher", and people who want him to move on and be happy, to both get their way by interpreting to their tastes.

I don't recall details, was there enough evidence to charge Amanda? Honestly, I can't shake an undercurrent of suspicion about the reporter boyfriend.

It's getting boring. I wonder if she does that because she can't actually do regular makeup very well.

And I liked it better than the first two. :) She's going to be good.

Re: Gottmik, I was cool on her from the start, since she was friends with Kandy, and I just can't stomach bullying. As for Roxxxy, why is she suddenly talking like she's from the deep south? She never had that accent in any of the previous appearances. Why the affectation now? Getting old and trying to fit in with the younger crowd?

It's funny you say that because this is the first time I've ever felt a reading challenge had the jokes written ahead of time. By someone else.

Yeah I thought the same thing. When Bruno came out with all the paint I then thought this was a bit where he was going to splatter Ru with paint, so she was wearing some kind of "wetsuit", but then it got cut. I guess it still could have been that, since there didn't seem to be any reason for Bruno to be there. Don't forget Broadway star lol Agree with all this. Gottmik and Plastique were amazing, and Gottmik was just a little better on the lipsync.

Angie still can't forgive Roxxxy for her treatment of Jinxx. She me.

I agree with this. Now when I rewatch TBBT and Sheldon or his mom say something that make it sound like his dad was crazy mean, I'm going to think about it in terms of George actually teasing his family, or of George overreacting in a heated moment between himself and Mary, and Sheldon misreading because he didn't see the emotional drivers of the actions. I'll be fine :)
